The birth of a child into a family is expected to bring ceaseless joy and happiness but the reverse is the case of a 33 year old auto-mobile mechanic, Yemi Oyeniyi, who took to his heels when he found out his wife, Esther, was blessed with a set of triplets.
It was learnt that trouble started for the Abeokuta based father of five, four months ago when his pregnant wife went for ultra-scan and it was revealed that she was carrying three babies. According to the mother of the triplets, Esther Oyeniyi, who is still at the Ogun State Hospital, Ijaye, Abeokuta, her husband started behaving strangely when he got the result of the scan on June 3, 2012.
The 27 year old teacher said her husband’s behaviour towards her changed drastically after the scan, thus she became worried and had to relocate to a church at Okeyidi, also in Abeokuta. Recounting her sojourn, the now mother of five said she was brought to the State Hospital, Ijaiye, Abeokuta by her church authorities for admission on October 19,2012, ten days later, she was delivered of a set of triplets, all girls.
With mixed feelings, the mother of the triplets lamented that, since Oyeniyi left their Okeyidi matrimonial home, his mobile phone had been switched off as all attempts to get through to him failed.
The visibly worried mother said during the naming ceremony organized by the church authorities, that neither her husband nor any of his family members who reside in Iganna, Oyo State was around. Asked what she would do if the husband doesn’t return, the nursing mother said God would see her through.
